Christine Ohlman and Rebel Montez
Christine Ohlman
This queen of blue-eyed rock n’ soul, who grew up loving equally the sweetness of a Memphis horn line and the raunch of an electric guitar riff, whether played by Muddy Waters, Keith Richards, or Pop Staples, teased her blonde hair into a beehive in honor of Ronnie Spector and never looked back.
She’s the long-time vocalist with the Saturday Night Live Band. SNL40’s anniversary post-show concert also featured her star turn onstage with Jimmy Fallon, Elvis Costello and the B-52s.
Her latest CD, The Deep End, was honored on five national Top Ten lists and features multiple featured guests including Ian Hunter, Dion DiMucci, and Marshall Crenshaw, Levon Helm, and others. Ohlman topped the Alternate Root.com’s Readers’ Poll as top Americana vocalist, joining other winners Paul Thorn, The Mavericks and Rodney Crowell.
